Christmas Dinner Menu…help!

So this year my mom wasn’t too keen on cooking the traditional dinner that she usually does, so I told her that we could do dinner at my place! I also asked SO if his parents would like to come as well….not only am I cooking the feast, but this is the first time our parents are going to officially meet (after us dating for 9.5 years! lol) don’t know how that happened..

Anyway, I’m stuck on the dinner menu…we have a Ribeye roast beef that I’m going to throw in the oven… give me some ideas for sides…and what YOU are all cooking 🙂

@westcoast_girl: I’m hosting for the first time as well! I’m doing a rib eye roast, twice-baked potatoes, antipasto, creamed spinach (maybe… either this or some other type of green veg), pasta bolognese, cheesecake

I’m not sure what we’re having, as we’ll be at my parents’ house. However, your menu sounds great! The only thing I’d add is something green– a salad, or something hot like green beans, asparagus or spinach. Good luck!

I was also thinking of doing a penne pasta side with grated parmesan and fresh basil tomato sauce…but wasn’t sure if it was too many carbs, considering the garlic bread (His mom LOVES it) and the potatoes… hmmm too many carbs? What am I talking about!?!? lol
